Shabbat: Policies

» Attire

Men and boys must wear kippot/yarmulkes while attending Ohr HaTorah.

Please dress up a little to respect and honor the Sabbath (no blue jeans, tee shirts, flip flops, immodest dress, etc).

» Cell Phones

Cell phones and pagers must be turned off in the sanctuary. If you must make or receive a call, find a private place.

» Young Children

All parents with infants are kindly requested to leave the service when their child needs immediate attention. We ask that parents with young children sit in the back rows to help minimize any disruption to the service.

» Morning Study

The morning study session (9:00 - 9:45am) is part of the adult education program at Ohr HaTorah. It is open only to members, prospective members and visitors for their first few times at Ohr HaTorah. If you are not a member of Ohr HaTorah (if you are a visitor or prospective member), please sign in at the front table.

Rabbi Finley’s Morning Study Session begins at 9am sharp. Please arrive early enough to be seated when study begins.

Doors close at the beginning of Rabbi's 9:00am study session, so that people do not continuously walk into the session as the Rabbi is teaching. Anyone leaving the session will not be readmitted until the study session is completed.

Doors re-open after the study session and remain open through the remainder of the morning.

Those entering during the Rabbi's Torah study (11:30am - 12:00pm) should be seated in the back of the sanctuary, and not seek a seat in the front of the sanctuary.
